All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Since Peters is a current Pro-bowler and playing the hardest position in the NFL...
Since Peters is a current Pro-bowler and playing the hardest position in the NFL...
Maybe he deserves a raise, regardless of team policy. The players earn 60.5 percent of the profit, so technically speaking they are the bosses of the team. Whoever gets paid the most in the company usually has the best skills and the most talent, which pretty much describes Peters.
Technically Peters is in charge of the Bills and is a majority owner as deserves to get paid like one.

I don't think too many people will disagree with you; I think it's his tactics that most disagree with.
Every 4 years or so a player on the Bills outplays his contract. The Bills used to pay our best players all the money and we would win or put great teams together. Over the past 10 years or so, RW justified not paying our best players and shipping them off for nothing. I am sick of being 2nd in the division and having to hear about the Pats 24/7.
I am offically changing my stance to F-you Ralph, pay the man what he is worth. This BS of covering for Ralph is over, I want results now. Peters will keep Trent alot healthier than Walker and give us a better chance to make the Playoffs. 56,000 season tickets sold and the highest TV share even during scrimmage games showed him we are 100% behind the product, so the owner should be as well. Pay Peters, pass the Bills on to a local group that can keep them local and take a dirt nap.

Huh?
Peters started off in the mail room and worked his way into the top of the team. The players currently have 60.5 % of all the income coming in with probably a little more on the way, so who is in charge of the team?? You can tell me me Russ Brandon or his team but that is BS. If we shipped Peters away the Pats would probably pick him up and go 19-0, we just can't let that happen. Pay the majority owner of the team his fair share, a majority.
Re: Since Peters is a current Pro-bowler and playing the hardest position in the NFL...
Lets say this. You are at a job, you are the most important position but you are having a very low paycheck. You dont leave and hope for it, because then your fired, you work very hard until the boss notices you and gives you a raise.
You should figure out how it fits in the JP situation.

Which seems to be the point some are missing. Nobody in their right mind would argue that Peters isn't underpaid. It's been stated about a million times. Not sure we needed yet another thread stating the same thing.

Re: Since this horse has been officially been beaten to DEATH, I propose a moratorium on new Peters threads unless and until there's some actual news. Second?

No, Peters is a contract employee of the Bills. He is neither an owner, nor in charge.
He is in violation of his contract and is being treated exactly like any employee who completely fails to work for or communicate with his employer, or to honor the terms of his contract.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

If Peters misses work it hurts the team, he is really irreplaceable. They asked Parcells what he is going to do now that his LT tackle is hurt when he coached the Jets, he got really upset and said I just go to the LT store. We need him back on the line.
